For those that actually follow DC comics...you should know that DC has one of the most messed up continuities.Their flagship hero,Superman is a clear example of how crazy it can get,especially with all the constant retellings of his origin.
This is not saying that Marvel has their issues as well with characters, but I have found that DC has really mixed it up and KEEPS mixing it up after they claim to have set the record straight.
For example with Supes.
-Pre-Crisis Origin: The one we're all familiar with...Kryptonians have bright costumes
-Byrne's "Man of Steel" Origin that straightened things out and lasted for a while.Kryptonians in this wear black "bio-suits" to extend their life and mostly isolate themselves from one another.Superman born in "Birthing Matrix"
-Superman: Birthright Origin which is supposed to be the definitive retelling of his origin.Kryptonians have bright costumes again and the "S" shield is shown to be a national Kryptonian symbol.
-Then before and after I remember seeing a few issues that hint that Superman's origin may be similar to the Pre-Crisis version
-Now we have Richard Donner's comic version that resembles the movie."S" Shield is House of El family crest and Kryptonians are like their movie versions.
So it's pretty mixed-up for Supes...not to mention all the different versions of General Zod as well.
